It is distributed through the subtropical lowlands of southeastern Africa. It has an isolated population in Burundi, and is besides found from southern Tanzania to eastern and southern Malawi, eastern Zimbabwe, widely in Mozambique and along the subtropical coast of South Africa.

By appearances and behaviour it has much in common with the Knysna turaco of South Africa, and Schalow's turaco which replaces it on the plateau regions to the west of its range.

gollark: Invading people's privacy a lot allows you to get somewhat closer to "perfect enforcement".
gollark: Anyway, broadly speaking, governments *cannot* perfectly enforce their laws, and this is part of the reason they work generally somewhat okay. If they could *immediately* go from "government doesn't/does think you could do X" to "you can no longer do/not do X without punishment", we would likely have significantly less fair institutions.
gollark: The UK has some of the world's most ridiculously broad government surveillance laws.
gollark: That's from 7 years ago, so presumably it's worse now.
gollark: Oh, and also stuff like this (https://archive.is/P6mcL) - there seem to be companies looking at using your information for credit scores and stuff.
